The Anthony Nolan Trust (ANT) was established in 1974 as the world's first volunteer unrelated bone marrow donor register.

Today ANT maintains the UK's largest register of over 332,000 potential volunteer donors willing to donate their blood stem cells should their tissue type match that of a patient in need of a transplant to help fight leukaemia or related diseases of the immune system.

ANT research programmes constantly work to improve the outcome of bone marrow transplantation and have also made a major contribution to advances in the field of leukaemia research and treatment.

ANT receives no Government funding and is totally reliant upon voluntary support to maintain its donor register and research work.

People aged between 18 and 40 who are in good health and weigh over eight stone are invited to join the register by phoning the hotline number 0901 88 22 234. The Trust urges all eligible volunteers to come forward, but they have a specific clinical need to recruit more male, ethnic minority and mixed race volunteers.

Alternatively people can help the Trust with fundraising events, please contact the office for details.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
